IMPORTANT: 2011 Salary & Benefits Survey

ClinicNET is thrilled to announce the 2011 Salary & Benefits Survey for community-funded safety net clinics.  Support and technical assistance for this opportunity has been made available to ClinicNET by the Colorado Provider Recruitment program, a service of the Colorado Rural Health Center. We hope that your clinic will participate in this valuable project. The deadline for completing the survey is September 19, 2011.  The report based on this survey, to be available in early 2012, will be:

• A valuable component for evaluating existing salary and benefits structures for selected employees
• Useful when addressing compensation questions
• A component for determining the economic impact of your organization
• Completely CONFIDENTIAL; all reported data will be in aggregate, and no one other than ClinicNET and CRHC will have access to individual health clinic information

Survey Document
The 2011 Salary & Benefits Survey is an Excel document; please note that this document includes four spreadsheets:

• TAB 1 contains the instructions for the contact information portion of the survey
• TAB 2 contains the survey tool for contact information
• TAB 3 contains the instructions for the salary and benefits portion of the survey **
• TAB 4 contains the survey tool for the salary and benefits information

**Many clinics utilize volunteer clinicians, administrators, etc.  Please place a “V” in the salary and benefits columns for those individuals and indicate in the FTE column if their volunteer work is fulltime (1.0), part-time (.5), quarter time (.25), etc. Aggregate information on the number of volunteers providing services is helpful to ClinicNET as we continue to provide education about the health care safety net in Colorado.
